36 Views Of Table Mountain

Juxtaposing this natural wonder of the world and the urban infrastructures of Cape Town, Cartwright references this omnipresent feature of the Mother City, rendering 36 unique moments, in a homage to Hokusai's 18th century 36 views of Mount Fuji. From far away viewpoints to close up, within the city centre and out into the more obscure outskirts of the peninsula, none of the paintings are the perfect postcard image we have come to expect of this beautiful city. Instead, the artist investigates angles and toys with perspectives from the rooftops of the more affluent suburbs through to the gritty motorways.
